The Good Sheep art yarn giveaway!



I feel like I'm letting you all in on a wonderful secret! We have a new Phattie amongst us, who is currently in Australia, but will be making a huge move to the UK very soon. Helena from TheGoodSheep, is also quite an amazing spinner!

I mentioned on the last video, that the corespun sample was the most even and balanced corespun I had ever seen. It is so touchable, and knittable, I was so pleasantly surprised!

We are giving away this beautiful corespun yarn from TheGoodSheep, but I want to mention that Helena has marked everything in her shop down in preparation for her big move. You can get some gorgeous handspun for incredibly reasonable prices- please take a peek! While you're shopping TheGoodSheep, please find something you love and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for this beautiful art yarn later in the week!

    I don't think the colorway I'm looking at has a name, but the white, gray blue handspun at the bottom of the listings "Handspun Merino Wool with Alpaca Bamboo and Sparkle" is my favorite. It's so cool and subtle.
